Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pulse chorizo, onion, and garlic together in a food processor until well-chopped.

Add ground chorizo mixture to bacon; cook and stir until onion softens and is translucent, about 5 minutes. Drain excess fat from pot and season mixture with cumin, salt, and black pepper.
